Fluff

Stephen Large who has been performing with Glenn Tilbrook, who was half of songwriting duo Difford & Tilbrook both formerly of Squeeze, they produced tons of the greatest, largely overlooked music of our time. I recommend the book, Squeeze Song by Song, by Jim Drury. A collection of their songs and interviews about the backgrounds of the music they produced. Buy Squeeze music, read the book, appreciate the genius!

I have seen Stephen play with with Glenn twice now, and "tokes!" doesn't quite explicate enough the theatrics this guy, who plays along as Glenn's sidekick deserves. On top of being a high energy, versatile entertainer he has a website that is worthy of mention and kind of fun to boot! Visit stephenlarge.com (including fun to play with keyboard thing on the home page).

I Cried.

PRANGSTGRUP, These guys suck! In fact I don't know why I'm even bothering linking to the whole website. I don't do that! See for yourself, that link is no endorsement.

But, I can't say the same about This guy in "Startup Sound"! Although their attempts are very "Trigger Happy TV-ish" this is the ONE, that rises above all. This guy only has only has one skit, and it's hysterical!
